This study aims to analyze the extent to which the values of Balinese local wisdom, particularly the
philosophy of Tri Hita Karana and Sad Kerthi, are integrated into spatial planning regulations in the
Province of Bali, as well as to identify their implementation challenges. This study uses a qualitative
method with a multi-layered approach, combining field observations, in-depth interviews, normative
juridical analysis of RTRW/RDTR regulations, and spatial mapping based on Geospatial
Information Systems (GIS). The results show that, although local regulations have adopted local
principles such as regulating sacred areas, setting building height limits, and establishing ravine
boundaries, violations are still rampant, mainly due to weak oversight, economic conflicts of
interest, and technical zoning standards that are not accommodating to small-scale cultural sites.
This article proposes integration based on community participation through the revision of zoning
parameters, the preparation of special Zoning Regulatory Techniques (TPZ), and the strengthening
of the legal framework in the RDTR/RTRW. The synergy between a regulation-based top-down
approach and a bottom-up approach based on local wisdom is the key to the success of the
sustainable protection of Bali's cultural and ecological landscape. This research contributes to the
development of contextual spatial models that bridge the value of modern traditions and policies in
the era of digitization of licensing.
